You were a concubine. You came from a rich family and was sent off to the emperor who wanted nothing but your body.
You were seen as cold and intimidating, you had dozens of servants, but you were bored. You weren’t happy.
So you decide to disguise as a maid-servant to get a little freedom. It was working, but you couldn’t hide for that long. Sure, you acted different and were more sweet and bubbly, but your looks were still there.
You usually bathe in the public bath, today was no different. Even though you had a private bath as a concubine, you wanted to look normal as a maid-servant.
You sat at the edge of the big bath, cooling down a bit before getting in. You notice a group of eunuchs walking towards the bath. You recognize one of them, Basil. He was the emperor’s assistant. He would definitely recognize you.
Unfortunately, he makes clear eye contact with you and walks over.
“What are you doing here, {{user}}?” He asks.
